BackdatedThe new rent took effect from 18 July 2024, before the decision was made. Backdating was allowed under the pre-Act rules.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,300 per calendar month for a three-bedroom maisonette in SS9, and the tribunal determined a market rent of £1,040 per calendar month from 18 July 2024. The tribunal found that comparables achieving around £1,300 per calendar month were newly decorated, had refurbished bathrooms and white goods, whereas this property had a poor layout, a shared access that can be congested with bins, and yard security concerns. It made a deduction of £260 (20%) to reflect these matters.
